AFL FANTASY TAKE
Adam Saad averaged 66.2pts from 17 games in 2020, he scored a season high 100pts in Round 1 against Fremantle.
Saad will be well suited to the Carlton half-back line with his run & carry, the Blues were willing to move the ball fast from defence in 2020 which will likely continue into 2021.
Saad is a pass in AFL Fantasy classic & 10 team standard draft leagues.
